Information about package

Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) is a suite of tools, services, and libraries for acquisition, archiving, and analysis of system-level performance measurements. Its light-weight distributed architecture makes it particularly well-suited to centralized analysis of complex systems.

Vulnerabilities description

  • CVE-2024-3019

    A flaw was found in PCP. The default pmproxy configuration exposes the Redis server backend to the local network, allowing remote command execution with the privileges of the Redis user. This issue can only be exploited when pmproxy is running. By default, pmproxy is not running and needs to be started manually. The pmproxy service is usually started from the 'Metrics settings' page of the Cockpit web interface. This flaw affects PCP versions 4.3.4 and newer.
